A knife at the Emu Bank subway

ACT Policing is seeking witnesses to an aggravated robbery which occurred at Subway in Belconnen last night (Sunday, September 9).

Around 7.50pm a man entered the fast food store on Emu Bank and approached a staff member, produced a knife and demanded she give him cash.

She complied with his demands and he ran out of the store in the direction of the skate park. He may have continued on towards the University of Canberra.

The man is described as being in his early 20s, Caucasian in appearance, 177cm (5’10”) tall, short brown hair, very slim with a piercing above his right eye. He was wearing a light grey hooded jacket and had a bandana covering part of his face.
